• REPRO is a STREP project funded by the 6FP Food Quality and Safety priority of DG Research addressing advanced methods to enable total transformation of food-processing-derived plant-based organic waste co-products (vegetable trimmings and brewers’ spent grain) into high and medium added value food, feed and pharmaceutical products such as biopolymers, phytochemicals, nutrients and micronutrients.
  

• Addbar - added value from barley.
  

• The Proteomics platform here at the University is also closely associated with the group. See more information here and here.
